We are not alone in the universe

A new type of political ecology may lend the Left a broad political platform. But we must first acknowledge wills that are not human. Jonathan Metzger explains why "more-than-humanism" calls for a complete rethink in policy, planning and the law. [ more ]

Naive, the hawks would say

"Ny Tid" says that only diplomacy can defuse the Iranian bomb; "NAQD" warns that the Arab revolutions are not as feminist as the West thinks; "Blätter" wants an enquiry into institutional racism in Germany; "Letras Libres" pays its respects to a rare revolutionary; "Arena" asks the bane of the Norwegian far-Right to explain Breivik; "Res Publica Nowa" struggles for objectivity amidst the tyranny of opinion; "Merkur" is still angry with Kohl; Springerin observes how artists lead the market when it comes to precarity; "L'Homme" finds that international development begins in the home; and "Vikerkaar" reads 150 years of Estonian thanatography.

Felix Stalder

Contain this!

Leaks, whistle-blowers and the networked news ecology

The WikiLeaks exposés are altering the informational landscape for good. Whilst acknowledging the structural leakiness of networked organizations, Felix Stalder finds deeper reasons for the crisis of information security and the new distribution of investigative journalism. [more]

Evan Calder Williams

Painting the glass house black

Faced with outrageous tuition-fee hikes resulting from the financialization of universities, California's students are agitating for the first time in years. But is there more to these mobilizations than the limited fight for a decent and "affordable" education? [more]

Benjamin Noys

Apocalypse, tendency, crisis

Marx's comment that history advances by the "bad side" has inspired an apocalyptic strand of anti-capitalism that supposes history is "on our side". Benjamin Noys takes issue with the accelerationist approach that welcomes apocalypse as the decisive moment. [more]

Daniel Miller

On the post-city

As global megacities render the urban grid and its certainties obsolete, societies of discipline become societies of control. Daniel Miller cracks open the password protected "post-city". [Lithuanian version added] [more]

Tim Forsyth, Zoe Young

Climate change CO2onialism: What impacts for the South?

Cap-and-trade is a system that interferes with development patterns in the South to offset carbon emissions resulting from "business as usual" in the North. Politics should be seeking alternatives to the trading model, such as legally binding targets on renewable energy. [more]

Nada Prlja, Stefan Szczelkun

The return of the red bourgeoisie

An interview with Nada Prlja

Artist Nada Prlja on the aesthetics of communist Yugoslavia and contemporary cultural mutations: how the Yugoslav Black Wave cinema of the 1970s might inform a "critical communism" for the present. [more]

David Graeber

Debt: The first five thousand years

Throughout history, institutions have existed to control the potentially catastrophic social consequences of debt. It is only in the current era that we have begun to see the creation of the first planetary administrative system to protect the interests of creditors. [more]

Peter Linebaugh

The who and whom of liberty taking

A recent exhibition at the British Library on the struggle for freedom and rights throughout 900 years of British history was impressive, writes Peter Linebaugh. But, he wonders, is it possible to discuss liberty while excluding the question of equality? [more]

Jon Amsden

From subprime to slump?

The world has seen the power of money to socialize the costs of capitalist crisis, but are prices going to go on rising to Weimar-like levels? Jon Amsden explores the origins of the crisis and discerns something worse than inflation on the horizon. [more]

James Heartfield

Manufactured scarcity

"Manufacturing scarcity" is the new watchword in "Green capitalism". James Heartfield explains how for the energy sector, it has become a license to print money. Pioneered by Enron in the 1990s, the model of restricted supply is now promoted worldwide. [more]

Benedict Seymour

Blurred boundaries

Sport, art and activity

Is the convergence of art and sport under the pressure of pseudo-participatory spectacle undermining the utopian potential of both? Benedict Seymour goes back to the future to recover the new kind of activity which, in different ways, is still informing them. [more]

Damian Abbott

The Spine

The introduction of a national health database in the UK is being carried out by a typically wasteful private finance initiative. Total data transparency may be good for corporations and security obsessed governments, but what does it mean for the recipients of "joined-up care"? [more]

Anette Baldauf

Shopping town USA

Victor Gruen, the Cold War, and the shopping mall

Victor Gruen's "shopping towns" were supposed to strengthen civic life and alleviate women's lives. But within a decade they had become the architectural expression of the policy of gender segregation underlying the US postwar consumer utopia. [more]

Brett Neilson

The magic of debt, or Amortize this!

Today we don't feel guilty about incurring debts, just the opposite -- indebtedness is the entry price of being a good citizen, pulling more and more of us into the global financial system. [more]

Will Barnes

Capital climes

Today, an Indian child consumes one ninetieth of the energy of her American counterpart. Such comparisons discredit the consensus that it is simply the mass activity of "man" which is responsible for global warming. [more]

Benedict Seymour

Drowning by numbers

The non-reproduction of New Orleans

After the actual hurricane that hit New Orleans in late August 2005 came the second hurricane of neo-liberal looting. The vacuum left by the evacuation of the working-class population and the storm’s destruction of infrastructure produced the dream conditions for economic "restructuring". [more]

http://www.eurozine.com/comp/focalpoints/eurocrisis.html
Brought on by the global economic recession, the eurocrisis has been exacerbated by serious faults built into the monetary union.

http://www.eurozine.com/comp/focalpoints/eurohistories2.html
Broadening the question of a common European narrative beyond the East-West divide. How are contested interpretations of historical and recent events activated in the present, uniting and dividing European societies? [more]

Katajun Amirpur
Islam and democracy
The history of an approximation

http://www.eurozine.com/articles/2011-12-19-amirpur-en.html
In Iran, official revolutionary dogma has obliged "post-Islamist" philosophers to provide profound justifications for Islam's compatibility with democracy. Katajun Amirpur puts contemporary Iranian thinking on religion and politics in the context of Khomeini-era anti-westernism. [more]

Per Wirten
Where were you when Europe fell apart?

Too many Europeans have too long avoided the question of Europe, says Swedish writer Per Wirten. To prevent the EU from turning into a "post-democratic regime of bureaucrats", intellectuals need to stop mumbling and take the fear of Europe seriously. [more]

Valeriu Nicolae
Change must start from within
Roma integration: EU rhetoric and institutional reality

European member states are answerable to the European Commission regarding the integration of Roma. But what are the chances of national policies succeeding if structural anti-Roma racism exists within European institutions themselves? [more]

Europe talks to Europe

http://www.eurozine.com/comp/europetalkstoeurope.html
Nationalism in Belgium might be different from nationalism in Ukraine, but if we want to understand the current European crisis and how to overcome it we need to take both into account. The debate series "Europe talks to Europe" is an attempt to turn European intellectual debate into a two-way street. [more]

Steve Sem-Sandberg
Even nameless horrors must be named

http://www.eurozine.com/articles/2011-09-23-semsandberg-en.html
It is high time to lift the aesthetic state of emergency that has surrounded witness literature for so long, writes Steve Sem-Sandberg. It is not important who writes, nor even what their motives are. What counts is the "literary efficiency". [more]

Literary perspectives
The re-transnationalization of literary criticism

Eurozine's series of essays aims to provide an overview of diverse literary landscapes in Europe. Covered so far: Croatia, Sweden, Austria, Estonia, Ukraine, Northern Ireland, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Hungary. [more]

Tymoshenko: Wake-up call for the EU

The EU shouldn't be surprised by the Tymoshenko verdict: its support of anything nominally reformist has been perceived as acceptance of a range of repressions, argues Mykola Riabchuk. [more]
